Thank you again. I found out that Philip's daughter, Susan Morrell Chapin, was engaged to a British officer, Capt. Thomas Clarke, Royal Medical Corps. He had two middle initials and a string of letters after his name; CMG, DSO and some others. They were supposed to have married in 1905 in Paris. Do you know (or does the book say) if they did?

One good turn deserves another.

This is from my Ancestry subscription, but I think they let people look at it for free every year around Veteran's day. The names of the regiments are links to regimental histories, if you have an subscription or wait until November.

I can't find out where he died, or if the 1915 date above is accurate.

On a second note, if you google "Philip Eugene Chapin" you get a number of hits from art auction houses. He evidently had his portrait and his wife's portrait painted by someone good enough that today those portraits are considered fine art.

==========================

A disclaimer - I'm not related. I "did" this line for a number of odd reasons, one of which was to see how the better half lived. My Pack ancestors run to people in what is now West Virginia who kept slaves and made their own whiskey. They didn't get mentioned in the society pages.
